Olivia Munn got the cover of the May issue of Allure for some reason. Even though I don’t think much of her as an actress or anything like that, I have to admit… I’m digging this Allure shoot. The cover is straight out of the glamazon ‘80s and early ‘90s. It reminds me of old Sassy covers. And I LOVE Olivia’s freckles. Anyway, Olivia has lots of ideas and thoughts about beauty, fame and her boyfriend Joel Kinnaman. Some highlights:
What she would never do in front of her boyfriend: “I would never let my man see me shave. I just don’t think that you ever look like you’re in a nice position.”
She makes fun of the models & actresses who pretend to love food: “‘Like, I’m going to have French toast because I always eat,'” she says, doing her best Valley girl impression. “‘I can eat whatever I want. I’m just lucky like that!'” She rolls her eyes. “I remember reading these articles when I was younger, and I just felt like, Well, in order to look like that, you have to have some secret, magical unicorn blood that makes carbs disappear as they go into your body. I prefer the truth,” says the actress, who had melon and green tea.
She always signs autographs: “I think it’s strange when people don’t sign autographs for people. Fans are just people who are helping you make your dreams come true.”
Dating Joel Kinnaman: “If there was ever going to be a girl who would want her man to bring home a RoboCop suit, it would be me. Joel is truly fantastic in it.”
Playing Sloan Sabbith in The Newsroom: “What I really love to do for a role is make the woman unapologetic for who she is. They wanted to put me in a turtleneck, and I said no. They’re like, ‘We want people to take her seriously,’ and I said, ‘People will take her seriously because of her brain. It’s not her problem what somebody sees when they look at her.'”
I’m not sure what I think of Olivia’s criticism of women who pretend they eat all the time – she would have a field day with Candice Swanepoel’s recent comments, wouldn’t she? I guess I like that Olivia is publicly honest about dieting and watching what she eats, and yes, I would prefer that honesty to some lie about how whatever model finds it SO difficult to put on weight.
As for not letting men see her shave… some men like it. I mean, some men like to see that. I hesitate to call it a fetish, but some dudes do like to watch women shave their legs (or other parts).

Typical vapid, uninteresting bullsh*t.
That being said, these are the prettiest photos I’ve ever seen of her.
I don’t get why people cover up freckles..I love freckles! In fact, when I was a kid I was so obsessed with Punky Brewster that I used to paint freckles on my face just to look like her.
Also, I LOVED Sassy (I mean, during the initial Jane Pratt-era)–it was the first magazine for young women that was both smart and snarky.
I love what she said in this interview. I’ll take her over “I eat pizza and don’t work out yet look like a supermodel” people anyday.
Agreed. I really don’t know much about her but I can relate to reading that stuff when I was younger and thinking I got the short end of the stick because I couldn’t eat whatever and never workout. It makes them totally unrelatable which then makes them easily unlikeable to me. I want the truth!
agree, I think this is the prettiest I’ve ever seen her look.
and G*ddamn it, what she said about eating/not eating and autographs makes me like her a little bit…
If only it were true.
Munn plays the part. She says what she thinks people want to hear.Telling a model to eat something is not an original thought.
She’s skipped autographs and blown off fans several times during her AOTS days and as recently as Magic Mike promo.
Ther’s just nothing true about this girl. She’s forever playing the men’s ultimate fantasy. Slipping in the “robocop” bit is subtle, but there. She does it all the time.
“She’s forever playing the men’s ultimate fantasy.”
and THAT is exactly why I didn’t like her on AOTS (love that you referenced that!)…thanks for the extra info about her. I knew that I was probably jumping the gun by starting to not hate her so much.
FLORC, you are dead-on with this chick:
“Ther’s just nothing true about this girl. She’s forever playing the men’s ultimate fantasy. Slipping in the “robocop” bit is subtle, but there. She does it all the time.”
I’ve spent many years at Comic-Con. She’s a real bitch when the cameras are off. Once on screen, her highly researched, faux inner nerd comes out. Just make her go away. Pisses me off as a true fan girl.
I’m a fan of freckles too but when I was younger I hated them. Hated that they were all over my face and well everywhere because I wanted the clear skin like everyone else. I didn’t learn to love freckles until I realized there was nothing I could do to change it. (I did try the lemon thing when I was child)
You’re so lucky
My sister has freckles and red hair. I’ve been so jealous all my life. I only get them during summer.
Thank you Tatjana.
I also always loved freckles, always wanted soe. The funny thing: I actually have red hair but hardly freckles. I’m probably more the Jessica Chastain type who doesn’t seem the have a lot of freckles either.
And Olivia Munn looks wonderful in this shoot, she reminds me a bit of early and healthy Kate Moss on this cover – the freckles, the bone structure, the shape of her eyes… Plus I like what she said in her interview, except the shaving thing.
Have you ever seen Nikia Phoenix? She’s incredible. https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/444609177189498880/MgEDvXyI.jpeg
Sassy!
I saw this comment last night.
I honestly can’t say I agree with her. It’s DAYUM sexy to allow my man to shave me. 😊
But to each their own. Ya know?
Haha–if it was me, I’d be calling him in to shave all the places that I miss (like my knee, behind my knee, my ankles)—make himself useful while he’s watching me. Plus then he can get my lady bits, without me cutting myself.
VG,
I’m gonna be straight up real. Most men salivate to shave whatever the d*mn h*ll you want. So if he wants smooth legs — let him shave your legs! It’s not a chore for them!!!! Everything else is just gravy.
😉
While it’s tempting to have someone else do what can result in a shower slip for me I would be so afraid of a cut. Any slip will be so much more painful with soap in an open wound for the remainder of the shower!
Seriously. My dude shaves my legs… and stuff… for me sometimes, and he’s really good at it. Like, almost better than I am.
She looks nice. But her interviews never have any depth to them.
I could understand not letting him see you do a number 2, but shaving?
Well it depends how comfortable you are with having your man seeing you shaving in a very un-sexy way (there’s nothing sexy about watching hair fall off, especially in other places).
Shaving your legs? Maybe. Shaving ur armpits? Hmm tentative MAYBE. Shaving your hoo-haa? No. I wouldn’t. Ever. You have to bend and look, and oh well its complicated… to say the least lol.
LOL at your comment.
There’s quite a few things I wouldn’t let my man see me do. I need to keep some of the mystery to myself.
I believe in keeping a certain amount of mystery to a relationship. Shaving is no big deal to me (I’m not particularly hairy so it’s a quick process), but going to the bathroom, putting on deodorant, flossing, etc, I do behind closed doors in the bathroom.
She actually seems pretty down to earth. And I always appreciate truthful comments about eating and staying near anorexic. I’ve known so many women who lived on lettuce and lemon juice, but talked about how they just couldn’t put on weight.
I can’t like her and I have to say I think less of Kinnaman for dating her.
LOL I think just the opposite!!!
I really can’t stand her.
Im anal retentive about my grooming rituals and private “girl stuff” things I just need to be soft and scrubbed and clear skinned he doesnt need to see how the sausage is made LOL
Hahaha! I love this comment!
+1 on that girlfriend.
Right? I don’t want to know (or even imagine) what he gets up to in the bathroom (shudder), and he doesn’t need to know what I get up to. If I had my druthers, I wouldn’t even share the bathroom with ANYONE with a y chromosome. lol
I don’t like her. Maybe it’s because she slept with Brett Ratner. I don’t know.
I appreciated what she said about fans & being willing to sign autographs. I sincerely hope she improves her acting because there is something about her… her performances have always disappointed me, yet I still find myself enthusiastically watching anything she’s in.
I prefer her being honest about her eating habits than actresses who claim that they eat anything and go to yoga as a sole form of exercise. The lies are plain mean (and discouraging) to the average person who doesn’t benefit from 2 hour sessions daily with personal trainers and personal chefs to cook healthy meals.
What is her purpose? What does she do? I mean I know she does some acting, but she is far from a big name star.
She slept around for roles and camera time. Auditioned for a job by wearing a seethrough tshirt and no bra. Slept with a director and told the world about his bed habits. He claims it’s all made up because she’s bitter and called her out for only playing her ethnic card when it helped her get roles.
Aside from that she had some sexted comments to Pine “leaked” and she slept with JT. Allegedly also leaked that info.
Tine Fey gave her a few shots, but all failed.
This should be her IMBD
I used to agree with that, actually I still do. But one day I didnt close the bathroom door and he happened to walk by as I had one leg up on the counter top, completely naked and shaving my heart out. He said it was the hottest thing he ever saw. I felt mortified but he meant it!
Sounds like your man is totally into you; complete package and all. Which is always gratifying to find out. 🙂
Shave? She shaves? Oh so FANC-EEEEY. Hell if I shave. LOL
found your comment so funny !
For me I don’t need to shave,
or poop, or fart or pick my nose,
and I’m never sick ‘n sniffi’ng …
More seriously, when you are in a long term relationship, like living in the same house, with kids, there is a time when he is going to pop in the bathroom to get something and see you shaving, and there are also times you are going to tell your man he has something white in his hair, or something green in his teeth or someting brown in his nose, No ?
That’s kind of a weird answer. I don’t know if I’ve ever let a boyfriend or husband see me shave, either, but that’s because my bathroom time is “me” time and I don’t really want anyone else in there. It’s not about preserving some feminine mystique that my body is naturally hairless and only has graceful angles.
I know it’s not relevant and it’s not by any means her fault and it is stupid of me to even mention it … but her last name means d*ck in my language (and in a vulgar way) and I just can’t get past that. And imagine our entertainment radio or TV presenters covering news about her (luckily there are not so many).
BTW, I love the cover. Especially the freckles.
For some reason I was getting the vibe that they broke up. Robocop pretty much flopped. She might need someone new.
I was wondering how long she would hang on to him after Robocop flopped. If they’re still together, that’s very surprising. And as someone else said, I also don’t think much of Joel for being with her in the first place. It speaks volumes about him.
Ha ha, I was wondering about that too 😀 I guess she might actually love him *gasp*
I appreciate her statement about celebs who pretend to eat alot and never gain weight, when in reality they survive off air and compliments. That has always annoyed me.
But try as I might, there is just something about Olivia Munn that I just don’t like. She seems…smug? Manipulative? Not sure of the word but she definitely turns me off for some reason.
Someone needs to tell her that she should just keep quiet and pose for the camera.
Has she had kids? When she’s pregnant, he’ll be doing it for her. You can’t see your legs!!!
Well, you can always not shave at all if you don’t want the man to see it lol…
I just realized that I confuse her with the other Olivia. Granted, one’s prettier than the other, but they’re both annoying and they each think way too highly of themselves.
I’ve noticed that there are two kinds of famous women. Those who try to be relatable by claiming they eat “normally” (I hate to use that word, but I don’t know how better to phrase it), and those who try to be relatable claiming they watch what they eat (and those who claim otherwise are lying liars who lie) and/or they obsessively work out. Can we stop asking women about food?
No man would ever want to see any of you fat slobs shave. Stop acting like any man has ever come within ten feet of you.
hahahaha this is some funny sh*t! you really expect anyone to bite??
oh baby ,maybe that’s your case but I’m litterally a man’s magnet, I’m so pretty ! Ka boom !
Whatever….I shower more with my man than I do without…9/10 time we shower together so I totally shave in front of him. I draw the line at toilet time in front of your man.
I wanted to put my two cents into that convo, but who is the Olivia chick? I have no idea who she is and am too lazy to google her.
She’s so annoying.
I used to straight up not like this girl but I love her character on Newsweek and I love what she had to say about Sloane being both sexy, smart and unapologetic about it.
@OK. I’m also a big fan of freckles and I never got why they were considered ‘bad.’
Listen, Olivia, women come in all shapes and sizes and varying metabolisms. I am 5’10 and 126 and have been since puberty (I am now 30). I eat French toast and ice cream and had potato chips and lasagna for dinner last night. Some of us can eat like teenagers and not put on weight. Sorry about your genes, sweetie. Enjoy your melon and green tea.
+1000000
People just act like we don’t exist.. weird
Yep, agreed. I was that way until I hit 30 – I lived on crap (fast food, pizza, chips, etc.) and never got above 110 pounds. My weight fluctuated in my thirties, and now, in my early 40’s, I still eat pretty much whatever I want, though I’ve learned the art of moderation.
My sister was the same way and both of us often got “Are you anorexic?” or “Don’t you eat?” comments. Really, why is that okay? Imagine going up to someone and saying “You’re so fat…don’t you ever stop eating?” Unacceptable and rude either way.
Women who can eat whatever without gaining DO exist and we are just as “normal”, “real”, and “regular” as those who don’t.
I’m just surprised at how down market these mags have become; from 90s supermodels and great models to this cipher – anyone can get on covers nowadays – I don’t even think she’s a fanboy favorite – what’s her schtick? Other than what florc stated. This is yet another consequence of that bane to civilization – “reality shows.”
No idea who she is but WOW! she’s gorgeous.
I feel the same way. Have never seen her in anything, or really care to, but she is just stunning.
MTE
Olivia Munn says. ” Fans are JUST people who are helping you make your dreams come true.”
Although I like she signs autographs. She sounds more like shes sapping energy off her fans for her own “dreams” and aspirations. I feel a lady gaga bell ringing.
A true appreciation for her fans would come across as ” I would be nothing without my fans”
That would be leaning more towards the truth. Politeness and even feigned appreciation goes a long way. **wink
She is one of those people that will let it be known that she’ll do anything for career advancement. That she slept with the flat slob, Brett Rattner says all you need to know.
Is she even a working actress? I haven’t seen her in anything in so long. She was never that talented I know but you’d think she would at least be on tv.
On a different note she’s damn beautiful. That cover is great.
She really is nice to fans. We met her at Comicon and she patiently signed autographs and pose for pictures with AoTS fans.
